In a recent interview with AccessHollywood.com, Max said he did quite a bit of research to step into the roles of the English monarch.

“I did actually and the reason for that is, we’re used to seeing our Kings in these ridiculous paintings wearing these ridiculous costumes up on the wall of some building, but you look into them and Edward in particular, he wasn’t born king, he took that responsibility,” he told Access. “And he was a young guy, in many respects very normal, sort of reckless… naive at times, but he was also incredibly bright and militarily very capable, but he just inherited a huge amount of responsibility and was just doing the best that he could, which turned out to be very, very good.”
